BRAVING
THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE
A film by Sprague Theobald
The Great Melt
The retreating ice in the Northwest Passage is opening the strait to international shipping, cutting the transit time,
and attendant costs, by 25-40%. In addition, it's bringing about unprecedented access to the treasure trove of natural resources that exist in the region. These are some of the issues that Sprague will be looking at.
Polar bears, a living icon of the Arctic,
hunt from a platform of ice. With the pack
ice disappearing, their hunting habits and
eating patterns have changed. 501(c) 3's
like Polar Bears International, have begun
to address the issue through research and
education. Presenting this film in partnership with
a charity like this will align your business
with the conservationist effort.
